Four Wheeler Question

[montanasledder]

I got an 06 brute 750 and the guy i ride with all the time has 07 Poo 800, The brute outruns it all day and the Poo is always breaking something. The Poo has much better ride and suspension but dont seem to hold up well. The Brute after the radial tire were installed handles well. My bike has 1500 miles on it and i have never had anything break. Just now changing belt. Preventive maintenance. No belt light,

I'm actually leaning toward the 700 x2 a little, it costs less than the 800 sportsman and from what I've heard the power isn't much different between the two. I really like the flat black color, which isn't available in the 700 unfortunately.

don't believe it, not even for 1 second!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the 700 sportsman is a total dog compared to the 800!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and if that's the direction you're thinking of, spend the LITTLE extra, and get the sportsman 800!!! personally like i said before, if it's a cost thing, you definitely won't be able to beat the grizz 700!!!!!!!!1

I'm telling you Andy, just get the Griz with power steering. The dealer isn't that bad either. Well, at least not to me.

If you can afford it go for the 800 outlander max, great machine.

So just to update, I finally settled on a new wheeler. My wife talked me into a Polaris RZR, I'm a little concerned she will take it over but it sure is fun. Just like having a hopped up little jeep. We liked the RZR over the other side by sides because of the fact that is still trailable, and seems to get up and go pretty good. I was surprized at how well it handled, it corners better than the 800 sportsman we test rode. I was concerned that it would be tippy, but it seems to have great balance and a low center of gravity.
Thanks for the info
Andy

I had the 07 Honda 680Rincon last year in camo and man it took a serious beating and kept on ticking! When compared to my buddies 700Grizzly we both agreed the Honda was more durable. Too bad this post is pretty much useless since neither one of those sleds are listed in your choices

Wouldn't mind having a RZR myself.....It just seems to me they would be getting hung up a lot with low ground clearance. They have two inches less than a Rhino and are 2 inches longer. That would make your breakover angle reduced by quite a bit. And i have seen the Rhino get hung up on a lot of stuff.

The 700 Grizzly ended up being a wheeler I was seriously looking at. My wife just really liked the RZR, and considering that we probably won't be on the market again for quite a while, we decided to spend the extra bucks and go for it instead of a traditional wheeler. And we have two boys under 5, so the side by side is a good way to involve them when we go out.

BTW aren't Honda four wheelers like Yamaha sleds, tough and reliable, but too heavy and expensive, and they need to be modded to perform..... Oh yeah, and the guys who have them think everybody else just doesn't get it....

I hope that doesn't end up being a problem, it weighs a ton so it'll suck to get unstuck or off a high center, the approach and departure angles are sure sweet though.
